Note how they say right at the start that no firm line between the two exists.
Prose was the word I couldn’t find, thanks.
ill give it a read, appreciated!
I figure if it's good prose is welcome too.
I enjoyed this post, but was curious about prose vs poetry
You can't be too broke to break As a woman always something left to take So you shouldn't try to stay too late or talk to strangers Look too long, go too far out of range cause Angels can't watch everybody all the time Stay close, hems low, safe inside That formula works if you can live it But it works by putting half the world off limits
